My IV was in my right arm and I'm right handed so wiping and changing pads was a little challenging. And the fact that the bathroom was teeny tiny didn't help either. Most times the nurse would unhook me but sometimes I wheeled the IV pole in the bathroom with me.

I actually planned my surgery date around 2 things only. 1) my PERIOD. I use an app on my phone called Happy Period (uh, yeah right) which helps me predict the days. I've been using it for over a year, and its been pretty darn accurate. So just to be safe I planned one week after the predicted period ends, which gives me a few days just in case.

2) The Presidential election! I get to recuperate while watching all the election coverage....STOKED! Ill just have to be careful not to get overly excited or start throwing things at the tv...;-)
